- Contribute to an open source project
- Be an open source mentor
- Recommend open source sites to friends
- Help friends to install and use Linux as their main operating system in their PC's or laptops and help them to configure and use the open source applications so that they can do absolutely everything they were doing with the proprietary applications they were using before.

I usually help them to write installation and configuration procedures using Zim and CherryTree notes taking applications.

The real satisfaction comes when the new open source users are helping their friends to move to open source.

My goal is to start using open software and using it more. I am having Windows free weekends. Using programs that have cross platform helps this like Firefox, Opera, Chromium, Filezilla, VLC make it pretty easy and (mostly) pain free.
